Message from a bottle...

This is my first week on Tallinn after officially moving from Tartu and today I woke up feeling that I still don't have a place in the world.

I feel that because my clothes are still in the suitcase, and they are there because I'm expecting to find a new place pretty soon, or at least that's what I thought when I arrived here one week ago, but today I decided to sit down on the floor and unpack everything...

After organizing some of my stuff here it looks better (at least for me), but there is still one big challenge left, the kitchen...

My roommate it's Indian and he has been living and cooking spicy Indian food for more than two years on that kitchen, so you can smell all kinds of spices, and you see the colors of the food in every dish, pot, shelf or drawer.

...now you can understand the challenge. But after stopping for a minute thinking if I really wanted to continue, I looked up on the wall at my roommate's poster and read this:

God's Gift

I asked for strength
and God gave me difficulties to make me
strong

I asked for wisdom
and God gave me problems to solve

I asked for prosperity
and God gave me brawn and brain to work

I asked for courage
and God gave me dangers to overcome

I asked for favours
and God gave me opportunities

I received nothing I wanted
and everything I needed

My prayers has been answered

What can I say? Just put some good music on your ears and enjoy the ride of life ;)
